Adult and Child Protection Services
 

 

As a citizen, parent and formal Correctional Officer;  I have mix feelings.  Some time ago, I received a letter from Child Protection Services because of a teachie feelie play at school.  My daughter reported an incident where my son's friend had touch her inappropriately.  I am thankful to be notified of the incident, but I didn't like the fact that I had to go all the way to the hospital to  get my daughter checked and the report was sent to Social Services.  I also had to go to the police station to make a decision to whether to file a charge or not. 

During my youth to adulthood, I had 5 incidents of sexual misconduct;  Use of force continuum under law as verbally under self-defense was used and I got terminated without an investigation of staff sexual misconduct from Inspector General and no prior notice of any wrong doing in this case.

Evidence based practice was used constantly that turned into abuse without taking into account of the sensitity of family affairs and my good moral status.  Misconduct has ruined my career as a Correctional Officer and prevention of benefits that I am entitled to.  My case has never been heard on record in the court of law.  I was looking forward to retiring at age 60.  I had plans and this wasn't part of it........; as a citizen of integrity, how do I correct the wrong that was done unto me and my family???

Adult protection is good in case of any type of abuse.
